The one I repurposed for FP because that plot went down the worst way.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

To date it's probably some part of me came alive or Love Songs in the Key of Liam. (I'm realizing yet again that most of the shit I write have no comfort.)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No one's directly spoken about it to me yet so no.

I don't know what kind I write LMFAO. Mostly fade to black beginnings of a hook up but full on smut I've not exactly tried yet.

Haven't yet but I've been wanting to!

Please don't perceive me.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Bloom. I'm plugging it because it's the first Matsuhana retrospective no comfort piece I wrote (that comforted me as I wrote it tbh), it's basically my firstborn on ao3 as well. I feel about it deeply simply because I also wrote this at a very memorable time in my life. I channeled a lot of shit into that thing, hence my unlimited overprotectiveness and fondness for it.

Tagging you guys if you haven't done it yet! @littlemisskittentoes @kiwiana-writes @later-2-dae @read-and-write- @happiness-of-the-pursuit @inexplicablymine @movetoheavens @rockyroadkylers @user-anakin @affectionatelyrs @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @heartitinthesilence @14carrotghoul @44whispers @arand0mdutchgirl

Totally part of his charm its also why I like sakusa and atsumu they are bitches. Especially saku. Just don't mind me and my boba poking fun at that ladies hair with my pretty boyfriend I need it.

And honestly I will 100% fist fight akinori, he deserves it just as much as he deserves my smooches and bites.

I can't have matsukawa without hanamaki but you're right they're both hookups you'll think about in like 10 years time and wonder if they're still hot.

yesss, sakusa and tsumu are lil' bitches and is kinda hard not to love them for it lol i feel like sakusa, tsumu, konoha, suna and suga would be THE boyfriends for shit talking in public, they're really good with it!! its also the quickest way to bond with any of them lmao

aihskdhdjd thats right, keep aki on edge, keep him guessing if its smooch time or square up time 😤😤 and yeahhh matsukawa + hanamaki are really a great duo, ig you have one of them, everything gets a hundred times better when you add the other 🥰❤

report: haikyuu!! summer week day 2 (saien/itadaki no keshiki)

previously: day 1 (shoen) report

guests: ryoutarou, justin, juudai, sonde

ryoutarou was the MC and he tried so hard bless his heart heehee but juudai and sonde, real life matsuhana, were ALLLL over him. they were giggling as he earnestly read from his script so he broke off-- ryoutarou: what?? I PRACTICED THIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. sonde/juudai: he's trying really hard, please cheer for him. juudai: yesterday ryoutarou's master (shishou) got everyone REALLY excited, we heard. justin: that's right. kenta-kun. ryouotarou: today i will overcome him!! juudai: that bar's pretty high lol. sonde: don't worry. with me, you're invincible. (ore ga ireba omae wa saikyou da.)

so then although of course ryoutarou did a great job overall, they jumped all over the little misses, like extra long pauses or flubbed lines. (ryoutarou: yesterday's screening was shoen… how was it? justin: um, i wasn't there???) to the point that sonde ran over, ducked down, hugged ryoutarou around the waist and yelled LET ME DO THE MC. they did the same cheering explanation/practice, only when they got to cheering for characters by name ryoutarou flubbed again-- ryoutarou: you cheer like if makki—makihara— audience: AHAHAHA sonde: (slinks toward him singing) ♫ tatoeba kimi ga iru dake de kokoro ga… ♫

(for the record "kimi ga iru dake de" is not in fact a makihara noriyuki song but it was immediately clear what sonde was going for, i think he got it mixed up with "donna toki mo". XD)

then when they did a practice play on stage for us to try out our cheers on, sonde spiked on juudai's head instead of the ball at first. (this is after he'd come running out at the beginning Extremely High Tension and spiked first on juudai then on ryoutarou, i assume he knew he wouldn't be able to reach justin. XD)

ryoutarou: ok but let's practice everyone's names for real come on sonde: makki audience: MAKKI juudai: mattsun audience: MATTSUN ryoutarou: tsukki audienec: TSUKKI justin: (pause) sonde/juudai/ryoutarou: JUS (fall about cackling pleased with themselves) audience: jus! jus! justin: my character has a name. sonde/juudai/ryoutarou: asahi, yeah, asahi justin: well, the cheering is up to you, so whatever you feel like-- audience: JUS! justin: please stop.

last but not least, tobe tobe karasuno/ose ose seijou, but while yesterday the cheers led into the beginning of the screaming, today juudai specially asked to end with ennoshita's don don-don-don clapping rhythem, and it turned out this was because he and sonde had practiced a pose ending with their hands on each other's shoulders making dramatic faces at the audience. (aka the フォーリンラブ/fall in love pose if you are familiar with comedy. XD) like i said, real life matsuhana.

FINALLY, THE ACTUAL SCREENING sorry. XD during the opening, everyone got up and acted out their choreo – ryoutarou couldn't wait for his own entrance, though, and got up and did oikawa's part first, right down to the cutesy double v-sign. then for his own scene he held his thundersticks up to his ears as oversized headphones, ahahaha, and then started doing both tsukki and yamaguchi's parts.

the cheering/whispering division was even worse than last night, juudai and sonde spent a solid half of their time their whispering to each other and cackling at their seijou teammates, they're terrible. (i love them.) thanks to the screening last night, this time EVERYONE was yelling "don't mind!!!" at kageyama failing to get into shiratorizawa and "nice catch!!!" at hinata picking up the ball. (and "nice receive!!" when kindaichi casually tossed the ball to kunimi. XD) juudai and sonde could not get over the calls for kindaichi, they were like, falling out of their chairs laughing. meanwhile, ryoutarou and justin got very into the MST3K aspect and were calling out their own oneliners on the regular. also since asahi doesn't appear much in the first half, every time justin appeared in the background holding up the net etc he would jump up and run up to the screen and point himself out. then he got really into his own match and got up to yell (ofc) "SUGAAAA" and "uchikitte koso—" audience: ACE!

it was fun to see who got different reactions at saien vs shoen – a BIG suga-san/ino hiroki crowd tonight, while other characters got squeals or name calls, at the loving closeups on suga the audience literally dissolved into dreamy sighs/whimpers of "KAWAII". which, i mean, they're not wrong. big seijou crowd as well, juudai and sonde looked so unimpressed with the screams for oikawa ahahaha.

the aftertalk: as i remember it, mainly embarrassing seijou stories from juudai. he explained that when seijou was the Seijou Chorus in white coats, naturally they'd take a breath before reciting their lines, then exposed the fact that arisawa shoutarou was so earnest and serious about being in unison that he would specially practice taking the breath and settling his shoulders, and as a result you can pick him out super easy in the background because when he takes a breath the movement goes from the top of his head all the way down his spine.

furthermore worry-san held auditions for the rap bit and the one most enthusiastic was kaito, all I'LL DO IT, I'LL DO IT. and then when he did... juudai: the rap was me, sonde-san, kenshin. sonde: i remember it super well. juudai: we were lined up like this sonde: and yamagiwa kaito-kun was? juudai: not there.

when hinata gets hit in the face during the neighborhood association match, kindaichi runs out with the ball – sakamoto kouta also volunteered for this role. ("in shoen it was masa-san – wada masanari –" "BUT NOT KAITO.") but he always had to hurry to get his coat zipped up and hood down in time. during one show, he was too rushed and just had to run out with his coat thrown on but not zipped or hooded – so instead of a faceless ensemble person it just looked like kindaichi was really cold and threw on a coat before running out to smack hinata in the face.

then ryoutarou said, "this is just between us here, but when were out on tour everyone got pretty close, right, and juudai and i were always sharing a room-- juudai: um what do you mean JUST BETWEEN US, that's not a secret?? you're making it sound like it's a different kind of relationship-- justin/sonde: (nod nod nod) ahh, i see, i see how it is.

oh, and of course ryoutarou and justin dragged ken-chan for his very unique interpretation of the choreo. XDD

ryoutarou: so, after today, are there any of the other screenings you want to join? juudai/sonde: ...shousha to haisha. sonde: obviously. juudai: it's the only other one we're in.

then ryoutarou and justin started talking about – was it hajimari no kyojin? and it just KEPT GOING so eventually juudai and sonde turned toward each other and started a faux-conversation like, "what are you doing tomorrow?" "nothing much just mumble mumble" "oh yeah cool sounds fun" until karasuno noticed. "oh, no, go ahead, we're talking, it's fine."

oh yeah and ryoutarou mentioned that HE would be back for shousha to haisha. ryoutarou: i'm supposed to be the MC but… that might change after tonight. ryoutarou: what if we make kairi the MC audience: (screams) ryoutarou: I WON'T GIVE UP TIL I OVERCOME MY MASTER sonde: ...then why did you ask.

finally, they also each said a few words about "saikyou no team" – not as heavy as the shoen quartet, iirc, but nice! juudai talked about joining in from saien, sonde talked about how watching saien made him look forward to rejoining the production for their last show, justin talked about all the changes in and how they planned to do their best on behalf of the cast members who'd left as well, and i can't even remember what ryoutarou said because i, along with the rest of the audience and guests, was hanging on the edge of my seat to see if he'd get through it without tearing up. XDD IT WAS CLOSE BUT HE MANAGED, justin and juudai both had these evil grins like they knew exactly what was going on ahahaha.

tonight, fukkatsu with shouri, naoki, arai sho, and kimura atsushi! i'll check in again tomorrow!

Title: Let’s Face the Music and Dance! (ch 1 humming to a different tune) Pairing: KyouHaba with some side DaiSuga, established IwaOi and established MatsuHana (ish) Rating: Teen and Up A/N: This is my @haikyuusecretsanta fic for bracari-iris who asked for either IwaOi, DaiSuga, KyouHaba or something with the Seijou boys. So, I included everything. And thus, this story spiralled and there are six chapters and approximately 22k words. Enjoy!

Chapter 2 - such a fine and natural delight Chapter 3 - can’t start a fire without a spark

Summary: 

Working in a coffee shop hadn't been Kyoutani Kentarou's grand plan, but it's one that proves to his dad that he does want to do something with his life. He doesn't like it much, not least because his boss, Oikawa Tooru, and his co workers are either idiots or tossers- usually both. So he doesn't care if they give him a wide berth. And he especially doesn't care if Yahaba-fricking-Shigeru has a date with a cute girl who works in the office round the corner.

No, he doesn't care at all.

Until he sees them dancing ...

The call for overtime was usually one Kentarou ignored. It wasn’t compulsory, and while he could have used the money, he’d rather not cater some poncey party to help out his boss, especially when said boss had made it clear that Kyoutani Kentarou was the last person he’d call on for help.

(“He hardly has a pleasing demeanour, Iwa-chan,” he’d heard his boss drawl, the first day he turned up to work.)

So when the sheet asking for wait staff was pinned to the staff notice board, Kentarou ignored it, and carried on his way to the storeroom to pick up another box of coffee cups.

Sometimes he wondered why he stuck the job. It was hardly his thing, having to be nice to people or at least not actively throwing coffee at the dumbasses who changed their mind, or asked for more milk after he’d fitted the lid over it, necessitating him removing it and usually slopping some over his hand and ghrrrr!)

(“He gets the job done, and he’s got a decent brain, you should give him a chance.”

“He’s not a people person.”

“So, there’s you for that. And Yahaba-kun.”)

Then he’d remember it was Iwaizumi-san who’d made enquiries and got him the job, and working in something consistently and with no hint of nepotism, could only enhance his college application.

That and the idea of letting down Iwaizumi-san left an unaccountable hollow in the region of his chest.

After unloading the cups and making sure the lids were stacked properly and in easy reach of all the servers - not just Kindaichi who was a good eleven foot taller than everyone else -  Kentarou replenished the wooden spills, ensured the sugar packets were in the bowl and not all over the counter, and then wiped at a ring of dried up coffee that had been missed from one of the tables the night before.

One of Yahaba’s tables.

He frowned to himself. It wasn’t that he particularly liked the guy, with his mop of blonde hair and even-teethed smile, or was in any way concerned, but it was unlike Yahaba to be distracted enough to not do his job properly. He was diligent, to the point off irritation, and such an arselick to their boss, Kentarou wondered if he’d ever pull his head out of Oikawa’s butt.

“Yes, Oikawa-san. No, Oikawa-san. I’ll do that right away, Oikawa-san.” And fuck, the dreamy look he got in his eyes when Oikawa-asshole bothered to spend a moment praising him for something, was enough to make Kentarou sick.

He scrubbed at the table, wondering why he hadn’t left the stain there to land Golden Boy in the shit. But then Golden Boy hadn’t arrived yet, which was another thing that perturbed, or rather another thing that didn’t bother him in the slightest, but was unusual.
